OK. At least thank you for admitting there is a problem here:) So would
it make sense to think first about cross-env monitor standard (probably,
at this point the discussion should go to xdg freedesktop org or
something) - and then tighten the ropes on Notification Area abusers?
Otherwise you just leave NO choice to the application which want to show
their statuses on different platforms - and dont want to be blaimed by
as GNOME-"incoherent".
